Speaker 2: you like to take that topping and you burn it

28
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,279
Speaker 2: a little bit. You don't like to keep it too soft.

00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: You like to you like to do you like to

Speaker 1: That is, Are you trying to.

34
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,480

00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: Oh dude, that was the best. I get it to

40
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: that apron you had. Do you still have the apron?

41
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: I gave you not to believe it or not. I

42
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: had a yard sale.

43
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: Oh man, you sold the apron?

44
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 4: Is that all you would wear? Is just an apron?

45
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: Wow? Yeah?

46
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I did have jeans on.

47
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: I didn't have it. Yeah it was. It was an apron,

48
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: says Chris's little bit.

49
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: I don't remember. I do not remember that part.

50
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: Oh I, well, we remember that part. We were baking, remember.

51
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: Hey.

52
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's catch up.

53
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 3: You're coming to town and we're super excited. You're going

54
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: to be coming to the historic Fitzgerald Theater in Saint

55
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 3: Paul in a couple of weeks and uh, hey, welcome back.

56
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: Tell me about this show. This show isn't like you know,

57
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: the shows you've done in the past. I mean, you've

58
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 3: been here for Wefest and all these other shows where

59
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: you get sixty thousand people in front of you, and

60
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: this is kind of a more intimate show.

61
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, this record that I made, this Dreams to

62
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: Dream album, was the first kind of record I've made

63
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: since I left kind of the whole major label theme

64
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: that I've been in for the last twenty years. Really

65
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: and it and it's an incredible time in my life.

66
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: But I think during that time, one of the reasons

67
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: I never made a more like intimate style record like

68
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: this one is because maybe it just seemed it wasn't

69
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: as commercially viable, you know, being honest, you know, it's

70
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: like as the guy that was, you know, Barefoot Blue

71
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: Jeen guy at the time. It just my label wasn't

72
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: encouraging me to sing songs about my my family per se,

73
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: or like being middle aged crazy, which I am now.

74
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

75
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, So anyways, you know, it was a cool thing

76
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: like I went out and made. I just wanted to

77
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: make this album. My mom always wanted to make an

78
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: album like this. She wanted me to make her an

79
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: album like this, And so I went to LA made

80
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: the record, and when I was out there, Shooter Jennings

81
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: and my buddy that was with me making the record,

82
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: Kendall Marvel, who will be on this tour with me.

83
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: They said, Jake, you really need to go play these

84
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: songs for people, and you need to do it in

85
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: a really cool setting where you like break it down

86
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: and uh. And I was like, ah, I don't know.

87
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: Part of me thought, man, I don't know that I

88
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: want to do that or And then the more we

89
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: made the record and the more I lived with it, it

90
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: really has set with me and fulfilled me so much

91
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: that we decided to do this. So I'm really excited

92
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: to We've already played three shows and it was probably

93
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: some of the most fulfilling music that I've ever played,

94
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: and I'm really looking forward to getting up there and

95
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: seeing y'all.

96
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: So you're having fun.

97
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: I mean it sounds like you're just having fun, right

98
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: It sounds chill and fun.

99
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's like I think there's something that's more

100
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: than the word fun. I think it's like I've used

101
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: the word fulfilling a few times because through a twenty

102
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: year career, I've had the most incredible highs and I've

103
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: had some pretty low lows. And what I mean by

104
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: that is like just the career, just like when you

105
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: watch I guess, like, uh with the movie with Brad

106
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: the what is it Born the Star movie? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

107
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: I had not seen that movie by the way up

108
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: until about a year ago, but when I watched it,

109
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, I get that.

110
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

111
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot about the music. There's a lot about

112
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: the music business that I think is so beautiful and

113
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: it's been so fulfilling, and it's allowed me to do

114
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: so many great things, not just even personally, like philanthropy

115
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: and things that I've started a foundation fifteen years ago,

116
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: but there's a lot about it. This also deteriorated my

117
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: personal life, you know, like my home life, like friendships,

118
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: like just being done a lot and people thinking that

119
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: you can you know, it's always about us or whatever

120
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: because and so anyway, I'm very short. I thought I

121
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: just had a lot of honesty to talk about outside

122
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: of you know, like uh woes and being the beach guy.

123
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 2: Like and that's why I don't that for a long time.

124
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: When that kind of music is working, that's what people

125
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 2: want from you. Yeah, you know, and they're they're like,

126
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: where's that next song? Like we don't want to. I

127
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: put a song out a long time ago called you know,

128
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: we all want what we ain't got, And I honestly

129
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: think I recorded that at a time in my life

130
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: I was getting divorced, and it was funny because that

131
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: song meant everything to me, you know, like I did.

132
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: I wanted everything I didn't have in that moment, like

133
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: my little girl that had moved with her mom back

134
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: to Florida, and and and and I remember being really

135
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: passionate excited about that song and putting it out because

136
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: it felt so real to me at the time, and

137
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: I remember it didn't work at all because everyone wanted

138
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: another summertime Jake song, Yeah you know what. And not

139
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: just not to sound self separated or anything like that,

140
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: because again, like I've had an incredible career, but I

141
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: think there's some honesty out there that that people can

142
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: relate to when they hear someone just beat the truth

143
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: and and not only speaking the truth feels good, and

144
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: sometimes like sugar coating or polishing things, uh, in times

145
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 2: where you're not feeling sugarcoating is not always the best

146
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: feeling either, you know. So once you said a minute

147
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: ago about having fun, it's been really, I guess fun

148
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: for me to be to feel like I'm being honest

149
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: and being real with not only everyone else, but what's

150
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: myself to be a to be real with you guys.

151
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: I think it's sad in a sense. I mean, boy,

152
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: we started out so fun, you know, weird, and now

153
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: we're diving in. Man, what we ain't got is so

154
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: fricking awesome. That song And you said, maybe I don't know,

155
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: I'm paraphrasing. Maybe it didn't work however you phrased it

156
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: because we use that in Saint Jude.

157
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember for sing Jude.

158
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no better song, dude. I mean it's it's

159
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: the song and the patients and the parents. It's just

160
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: it's so it's the song of chance. Remember that's the tendate.

161
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: And yeah, no, it's beautiful that you guys did that,

162
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: and you're and you're right. I guess what I meant

163
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: by didn't work is you understand that, like I think

164
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: that as artists, we all create these brands, yep, right,

165
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: like you, like, we've all become a brand. And I

166
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: didn't have a brand until Barefoot bluejing I came out.

167
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: I had a bunch of hit songs, but Barefoot Bluging.

168
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: I came out in two thousand and I guess it

169
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: was like twelve thirteen, and it was like crazy. It

170
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: turned my life around. And in a way, I think

171
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: because I was a guy from Florida, right, you guys

172
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: also played you know songs that no other like y'all

173
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: played Summer Jam, which was a huge song for me.

174
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: And but again that was and it worked because it

175
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: was like I was that summer guy, right, I was

176
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: the guy that was And I tell am, I love

177
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: these songs. I'll get out there the summer and be

178
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: playing all these songs. But there's this There's always been

179
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: a part of me too that felt like I've never

180
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: been able to share that with people. And I think

181
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: once I when I was able to, I mean, I

182
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: funded this record because I'm not on a label right now,

183
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: and I was like, well, nobody can tell me right

184
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: now that I can't sing these songs or can't be

185
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: honest with what I want to say. I'm not. I'm

186
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: not letting them down. It wasn't about me being against

187
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: labels or anything. But I think there's a business partnership

188
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: thing that sometimes I didn't want to let my label

189
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: down without having a hit song or something on the radio,

190
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: and sometimes songs about you know. I don't know who knows.

191
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: I guess I'm just feeling very honest these days, and

192
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: it feels really good. And you're a use of the

193
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 2: term fun. I guess I should adapt that because it

194
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: has been fun.

195
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: Dude.

196
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: I love it, I mean, and what we ain't got

197
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: hit me like a baseball bets. I loved it because

198
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: it was a different side of Jake going. It's the

199
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: side of Jake going I didn't hear before, and it

200
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: wasn't Barefoot Blue Jet. But I love all yet everything

201
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: you're known for in the way I guess you are

202
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: quote branded. But that song just and others were so impactful,

203
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: and I just wish everybody appreciated that more. And I'm

204
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: glad that you're doing what you're doing right now. I

205
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: think this show's gonna be fantastic in a couple of weeks. Dude,

206
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 3: I'm not blowing smoke up your ass. I mean, from

207
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: what you're telling me, this is so good.

208
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: We're excited and it's been a fun too for me

209
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: to watch. Like at the first few shows, you know,

210
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: I thought that I would just go out there and

211
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: play these songs, like these new songs, and then I've

212
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: had to remind myself. We've all been to shows where

213
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: you've seen an artist like they're really excited about their

214
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: new record, but you're not sure. You know, I want

215
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 2: to hear the songs, I really know, and uh so

216
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: I it was fun for me to kind of watch

217
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: that happening through my own eyes, like in the crowd,

218
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: and then be able to be like, hey, why don't

219
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: we go down to the hogy dong for a second,

220
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: and then everybody like light up. But it was fun

221
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: because I was able to, like it, weave in these

222
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: this new record with songs that I've been so lucky

223
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: to have. I mean, I've had number one songs, so

224
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: it's been nice to kind of like having those hit

225
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: songs has given me the freedom to make this album

226
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 2: that has been so fulfilling. So there's beauty in all

227
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: of it, you know, And I'm really excited to come

228
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 2: and play it for you guys, and y'all have always

229
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: been really great to me, so I'm really excited, and hey, man,

230
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: we should make we should make some muffins or something.

231
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 3: We could have like an intermission, have muffins, like a

232
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: bake sale.

233
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got it.

234
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 4: Has it been kind of scary to break out of

235
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: that beachy brand and and just kind of put out

236
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: this more vulnerable side of yourself?

237
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: Well, thanks for asking that question. I think, yes, yeah,

238
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: I think. I think. I think. If anything, what it's

239
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: reminded me of is something that I'd love to remind

240
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: anybody that's listening right now. Is it when I left

241
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: college with about twelve hours of school left, which what

242
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: I'm saying to your listeners is not drop out of

243
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 2: college while saying that, But what I am saying is

244
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: is it when I left? I don't know why I

245
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: did that, other than I had this huge desire in

246
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: my heart to chase a dream that I just I

247
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: could not get rid of. It woke me up. I

248
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: couldn't go to sleep at night because of it. It

249
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: was like, I need to get to nationale, I want

250
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: to make this music. And I did, and most people

251
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: I was crazy, you know, and and I guess maybe

252
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: I was a little bit. But what I did was

253
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: is I just had I believed in my heart at

254
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: the time. And then twenty years later, all these years later,

255
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: I kept having that same type of desire again to

256
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: do something that was this album, This was this kind

257
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: of music, and I was scared. There was a lot

258
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: of me that was scared, like what are people going

259
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: to think? What are And I realized that like in

260
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: the moments where I've been the most scared in my

261
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 2: life and I've just followed my heart, the most beautiful

262
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: things have come from that. And I and so that's

263
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: what I did, and I and I was able to

264
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: feel like a twenty three year old kid again at

265
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: the age of forty four. And I encourage anybody sometimes

266
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: that when you have that inner voice in you telling

267
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: you something that that that you really should do or whatever,

268
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: and you believe in it in your heart, like chase it,

269
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 2: you know, do it because this is the We're only

270
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: living this life, you know, and you get the opportunity

271
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 2: or to do something like believe in yourself because no

272
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: one will ever believe in you as much as you do.

273
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: Dude, I'm going to isolate that audio that was that

274
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: was amazing. Yeah, put music behind you.

275
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 4: I want to like go outside and stand in the

276
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 4: sun and achieve something.

277
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't chase my heart.

278
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: I mean we all like we just all have lived

279
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 2: his life where I think we sometimes are so can

280
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: be so focused towards so many things that aren't you know,

281
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: positive and within our heart, no matter what it is,

282
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: you believe in, and that's what we're seeing right now

283
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: to it all over. But I just think it's like

284
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: to follow your heart and believe in what you believe

285
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: in and that and that's what that's you can really

286
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 2: do some great things in life, and and and and

287
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: it's and it's and it's really worked in my life

288
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 2: and and and and believing and following my heart because

289
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: there's been plenty of times people have told me, you

290
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: know that, now, are you sure you want to do that?

291

Speaker 2: so people always asking me for you know, hey, Jake,

313
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: can you help me with this? And it's really fun

314
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: for me to watch guys get better or girls like

315
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: just give them a tip that's pretty simple and then

316
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: to watch them connect with it. So I don't really

317
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: ever focus on people being like terrible, you know what

318
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: I'm saying. It's actually fun for I see somebody terrible,

319
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm gonna get them way better by

320
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: like the next time they play.

321
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: So, dude, in wrapping things up, do you still do

322
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: a podcast?

323
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: I used to, and then I just I don't know.

324
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: I got busy with life and it was and and

325
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: but I and then it just seems like every body

326
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: had a podcast, and I was like, I don't, I

327
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: don't know. So I kind of got back to just

328
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: doing what I'm doing right now, to be honest, which

329
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: is I'm in Kingston Springs, Tennessee, where I live, and

330
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: there's a coffee shop here on the corner of this

331
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: little town and I love when I'm home. I just

332
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: come down here in the mornings and I see like

333
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: the same ten people and we all, you know, I

334
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: say hey to them, and then I'm like, hey, guys,

335
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: I gotta go call my friends in Minneapolis right now.

336
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: So I want outside and then when I and then

337
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: when I'm done, I like go back in and have

338
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: my black coffee, you know, with my friend Joe inside there.

339
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: I just had open heart surgery and like to just

340
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: kind of like catch up with real people, you know,

341
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: And that's kind of my that's my goal these days.

342
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: I guess that's my podcasting, is what I'm saying.

343
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, love that.

344
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: It just sounds like you're in the best butt in

345
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: the world to do it, because everything that this we're

346
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: talking about here would just is valuable to so many people.

347
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: And it's not like you have to do it every

348
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: day or even once a week, but every now and

349
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: then if you just go on, I mean, you have

350
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: really important things to say, and we're all kind of

351
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: mesmerized by by your journey. So whatever you do with it,

352
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 3: I mean, if you decide to get back into it,

353
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 3: I mean, just hell throwing on every now and the

354
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 3: day because it makes a lot of sense.

355
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really kind of me to say I should

356
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: consider that shirt again. But but yeah, no, I think

357
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: you know, I've just learned to day by day, especially

358
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: when we're not getting any younger, right, And it's interesting

359
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: having children and I'm a girl dad, so even having

360
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: girls is the best and and the love that I

361
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: feel from them is incredible, and I'm just learning every day,

362
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: like I'm just trying to find ways to just like

363
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: how can I like be better, how can I live longer?

364
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: Be there for them? How do I be there for

365
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: my friends? And and a lot of that has them

366
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: from just coming back down to earth a little bit,

367
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: you know, so in a lot of years just like chasing,

368
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: chase and chasing and what's next and what's next and

369
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: what's next and not really seeing what's right in front

370
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: of me and uh, and so it's really kind of nice,

371
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: like I said, like just kind of feeling like everything's

372
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: okay out there, well like where I am right here

373
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: is where it's like it feels good.

374
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 3: I mean you, so many of us in life, probably

375
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: over ninety percent of people chase their tales their whole life,

376
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 3: and you're you're chasing your heart. Like you said, that's

377
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: a different that's a different, whole, different animal.

392
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 2: Jude Children's Hospital was our original beneficiary because I learned

393
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 2: through country pairs and all the years of coming up

394
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: through you know, country music and really shining a light

395
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 2: on Saint Jude and everything they do there. And as

396
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: we grew and I was having a lot of basically,

397
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: we have a big event in our hometown, of my

398
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: hometown of der Beach, Florida in December every year where

399
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,480

Speaker 2: a comedy night. It's crazy. It's got really large, and

401
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: we've added everybody from Jimmy Buffett to Morgan wall And

402
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: has played the same and we have grown so much

403
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: that now we have over forty beneficiaries from from Saint Junia.

404
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: As I mentioned to Autism Speaks my nephew's autistics, so

405
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: we do a lot of work with Autism Speaks, Boys

406
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: and Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity. And as I was

407
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 2: saying earlier, is it had to Ben's for all the

408
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 2: success that I've had through my career that I've never

409
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 2: learned dream though and taking that risk and leaving college

410
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: like things like this, being able to raise awareness and

411
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 2: money and be a expirhead kind of like leader for

412
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: great causes would have never happened. So again, all those

413
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: kind of things as well come along with just chasing

414
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: your your heart and because you can do great things

415
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,200
